Protect Yourself! Do What’s in Your Best Interest!

Companies
will always do what's in their best interest, so you must always do what's in
YOUR best interest. Protect yourself and do the right thing.

It amazes
me when I read the paper (or Internet these days) and I see another big company
laying off 300 people or closing a plant on a Monday. Do you think this company
knew on Friday they were going to do this? Absolutely!

Companies
will not do what is in YOUR best interest they will always do what's in THEIR
best interest or if it's a publicly traded company, the shareholders best
interest. What does this mean to you? You need to protect yourself and do the
right thing in your career, especially today.

What is
the right thing in your career? We are all different so it really depends on
you, but I would make sure you understand the lifespan in your career. You
might not understand this, but you have a limited lifespan in the workplace.
It's true. Your age does matter,
I don't care what people say or what you're hearing, it matters.

Your age
will matter to companies and to YOU. At some point in your life and career you
will reach a point where you won't want to be doing what you're doing. Or, at
the very least, working in the same way you are today.

As you
get older maybe you will want to work part-time, work from home, work as a
consultant or maybe even retire, but at some point your workplace lifespan will
come to an end. It happens to all of us.

Throughout
your career you will be faced with opportunities to either advance in your
career or do something else. Protect yourself. Explore these
opportunities. Do what's in your best interest. Get the most out of
your career while you can. Please understand that your career lifespan is short
and your window of opportunity to make the most money and achieve your greatest
heights is limited.

Always
remember, companies do what's in THEIR best interest, so you should always do
what's in YOUR best interest. Protect yourself. Take control.
Go for it in your career while you can, because EVERYONE has a limited career
lifespan. Don't waste your
talent! Do what's in your best interest. I hope this helps.
